I'd love to ask this in the Dev section so that it would get noticed, but one must follow rules: Adrenalyn's kernels have often included a patch to allow VZW SMSs over 160 characters to split rather than convert to MMS. I've noticed lately we're back to the converting method. Can this be made into a separate patch or can our great devs try to include this again into the latest kernels so that the SMSs will split again?
-edit- So I try to follow the rules and end up posting this in general rather than Q & A. I need my coffee
I second this. I'm actually on the search right now for the patch/fix that was posted.

I could be wrong, but I am fairly positive that the long SMS has nothing to do with the kernel, but with Messaging.apk. Which would make this a ROM issue. There is even a tutorial on here somewhere that tells you how to manually pull the .xml file from Messaging.apk, change the specific value to "7", which will make it so that your SMS is not converted to MMS until you reach 900 characters, then push it back. Again, I COULD be wrong, but I'm almost positive this has absolutely nothing to do with the kernel.
Its not the kernel.
Push this to your system/app directory

That worked very well. Thanks!

i have seen this and read briefly on it before but not familiar with how to use this. any chance you can give me a walkthrough of how to use this in order to push the sms file to my phone?
please do reseach on ADB before using if youve never used it before.. u can ruin your phone beyond the point of saving it with odin
If you don't know adb then make it easy on yourself and get rootexplorer then you can copy and paste. Or you can use linux terminal commands in terminal emulator (free in the market) to "cp" (copy) the apk file to the system/app dir

tried this both ways and it still converts my messages to multimedia
Did you delete (or rename) the old mms.apk (i always rename to something like mms.bak) before moving the new mms.apk to the system/app directory?
Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing system files:
1. Mount the system as r/w (read/write) per the top right corner. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (e.g., system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. For example, in a lot of cases, the permissions will be RW-R-R. In Root Explorer, this would mean checking the first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines. In any situation, confirm that the permissions you see after you've changed them (right below the file name) match exactly what you're replacing.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and double check the permissions.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
It may seem like a lot to someone who doesn't do it often but for me, I actually do this method faster than any other and fly through it every time. I got tired of seeing people explain ways to use Root Explorer which result in bootloops, FCs, etc. without fail. So, I decided to put an end to it.
Great post Simba501! Thank you for this...
Obviously a "noob" thing I'm over-looking but when I try and paste the file I'm moving into /system it's prompting me that it's "read-only"?

Those are only for flashing purposes. Not needed if you're not flashing it. You only need to pull everything besides that folder and place them appropriately.
Using this method resulted in "app not installed" tried it with black Google search box, and just now with Mms.apk rw-r--r-- backed up old one, but method didn't work... had to nandroid last time because phone wouldn't let me install backup or market version. Looks like I'm in for it again. fudge. what went wrong?
System folder was r/w and moved apk into system/app said OK to overwrite and used hard key back button to exit root explorer. Hard key power button and selected reboot within 1-4 seconds of moving apk over system app.

You don't install it after placing it. Placing it in the folder does install it. If you put it there, ensure the permissions are correct, and reboot, it should work.
EDIT: I don't see any mention of setting the permissions, so that was probably the issue. Again, no need to "install" it; just put it in the appropriate folder and set the permissions.

I did state the permissions. It's in your quote lol. Your method caused my phone to say app not installed. I had trouble getting the default app back after your method failed. Why didn't it work? I'm telling you I followed it to a T.

If the apk is compatible, it will work. At no point should you get an "application not installed" prompt, unless you attempted to manually install it at some point. If it wouldn't work, it just wouldn't appear in the app drawer: no prompt.
I guess this should be mentioned in the OP, but some times, clearing data of the application may be necessary after finishing. Usually a force stop at the most will allow you to see changes (which is why the steps include a reboot). You've piqued my interest. Post the files of question and I'll see if they work on my device. There was a similar issue someone else was having; I told him to redownload the apk and that was the problem. Some kind of botched file/download.

It fails if attempting to create it within Root Explorer. You could use other means though (on a PC, an edited ROM zip, or potentially another root file manager). But again, no real reason to: other than for development purposes, perhaps. I'm no developer though, so I can't say.

this is the problem?? I've Stock ROM 2.1update1 with firmware 2.1.1.A.06
then, I have to create that file and copy it into /system/etc/permissions with rootexplorer...
now I try this...and you know I do!
EDIT: NOT WORKING...I have create that file (copy and paste the code in the frame in a txt file, and renamed android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml) then I've paste it into /system/etc/permissions and associated it permission rw-r-r
rebooted and not working...single touch.
yet launched from the console does the dual touch working in some applications ... why?
EDIT 2: Please do not send me to hell, but by creating the file and rebooting, if I launch "insmod" from the console, dual touch works in all apps!
How is it possible, however, that the changes to make it start with phone not work?
I want to work "even" when I restart the phone!
Did you try this version?

With this script you can enable and disable a lot of things ... I can just see if it works ...and let you know ...
I wanted to ask, but what is JIT? what does it do?
thank you in advance for availability ..
EDIT: Works!!! without launching the script, I went just to see how the command was written in the file "hw_config.sh" ...
I corrected, and after restarting, it works!
I was wrong because we put the quotes, but no need to write.
The correct lines of code to be included in the file "hw_config.sh" (at bottom) are:
# load multi touch driver
insmod /system/lib/modules/cy8ctma300_ser.ko
sleep 1
After you have copied into system/lib/modules "cy8ctma300_ser.ko" , mounted it as rw-rr , and edit the file "build.prop" as indicated in the post.
works!!!
thanks!!!!
Neutrino is my first custom ROM, and I love it!
I'd really like to enable TTS, and I'm not sure what I need to do. There was a multiupload link for the languages / tts .zip in the Neutrino thread, but it is now down. I see that people have had issues with it - although I understand that they've resolved it manually by copying over various files from CM7.
I'm at a loss, however, of where to obtain these files or which files are needed specifically.
I'd really like to get this done ASAP as I'm going on a road trip tomorrow, and really need my GPS functional! Does anyone have a .zip to flash to make this work, or is anyone able to me a rundown of what files to copy over?
Thank you so much!

P.S. This would be posted in the Neutrino thread except as I am new XDA won't let me post in the Develpment Forum :-/

Notorious544d responded, telling me what files I needed to copy over
But, what you should do is download CM7 and copy the following files in their respective folders:
/system/app --> PicoTTS.apk, ttsservice.apk
/system/lib --> libttspico.so, libttssynthproxy.so
/system/tts --> Copy whole TTS folder and place in system and set 644 (rw-r--r--) permissions to be safe.

The only thing is I don't know how to copy these over exactly. Where do I put them / how do I put them? There's no system folder on the SD card, so I take it I have to flash them? How do I do that exactly?
Nevermind - I figured out how to push the files up using adb after remounting as root

Well as many of you know we're over most of the hurdles we needed to jump with the CM7 build for Nook tablet.
Updates for the internal version are simple via CWM, the SD version is not so simple of course.
I'm assuming that it should be possible to built an APK that gains superuser permissions then copies the new files to the system. Can anybody confirm this is possible please?
We need to know that we can tell our SD user that they can update their version just as easy as the internal user
Thanks in advance for your help again everyone!
Well presumably this is how ROM Manager and Metamorph both do their thing, just in a slightly more round about way (as they don't come with the files they need to copy). I'm almost 100% sure this is possible, but I've never tried it personally.
EDIT: Looks like this is how you'd do it: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File.html. Specifically the renameTo() method.

Well there are about a dozen ways to do this. First of one of the hardest things is comming up with the commands/script. I can defiantly do this. If you want an apk, there are a few guys whom could port my script to an apk. I'm going to make a script here that will format, and create partitions and extract directly from the nook, no need to go through the fancy formatting and such, just go into terminal and run the script. Ill post a prototype for you to have the testers test!
Do you think something like BacksideUpdater inside custom ROM for LG Optimus V?

JerryScript i very nice guy, I bet if you ask him, he will let you play with his code
if is it what you looking for
Yes, this is possible. I wrote an app that flashes the recovery partition for my older Froyo phone in the very rudimentary Basic4Android. Copying files under root privileges was part of this process. Fairly easy if you find the right coding examples in whatever your development platform of choice.

So one of the problems is its not really copying. Its more of an extraction from one place to another. We are required to use dd, and fdisk(for formatting).

Whoops, wrong button with the thanks. Anyway, it occurs to me you could just have people run a script from a terminal emulator. That would probably be the simplest way to do it. Make an Update folder on the SD card, add it to the PATH by default, and users could just copy over the update files and run the script. Just a thought.

Has to be simple, something like copy an update.zip onto the SD card then run the apk which will automatically run the update in the zip But my knowledge of such things is limited so I need help there
Same process. With the above method, the user would only have to copy over the file, open a terminal, and type 'update'. With the apk idea you just have to add a little more time for someone to actually write the app (not that it would take too long).

Anybody know how to actually implement it ?
Dammit, idk why I keep hitting the thanks button thinking it's reply >.>
Anyway, it's just a matter of setting the PATH variable to include /sdcard/Update/ or something similar. To make an actual update, make a folder called Update, fill it with all the files that need to be copied over (probably in a directory structure), and write a script that actually copies everything over. You'll need to make sure sh is in /system/bin (I think it is by default).
You could zip the the files as well, using gunzip (busybox?) to extract them before copying them, then deleting them when you're done, just to keep it cleaner for the user.
The only downside to all this is that I don't know how you would flash a kernel.

I'm guessing you'd just flash it as usual, surely that one is the easiest? Copying stuff to boot partition would hopefully be just as simple, I was mainly worried about updating system files. I could do with building one for the current update to test the theory!
